What Browser are you using? Some aspects of adblock or scriptblocking add ons can affect functionality of the forums, for example with older Firefox, and older IE like IE 6 or 7 have issues with the forums, as well with partial function loss.

This is true for all browsers. I do web development so on my testing VM I keep all browsers default with the native installation. No add ons. Doesn't work for IE7,8,9, FF, Safari, or Chrome.

It seems to be a time based issue. After about a day the delete option disappears.

Personally, I don't think members should be allowed to delete threads that they started, at least not after somebody else has responded. You are not only deleting your own work, but the work of other people.

Sometimes (rarely, I confess) I put a lot of time and effort into a reply, and I don't want to see it disappear because some idiot has second thoughts about the thread she/he started.
